Hard Landings by The Royal Volts

Nova Scotian rock'n'roll underdogs The Royal Volts leave bruises with their incendiary second recording "Hard Landings". Containing six highly-concentrated tracks - including the lilting working-class rant "Head Down" - "Hard Landings" runs the gauntlet of rock'n'roll idioms, flawlessly shifting between bluesy howlers ("Bad Thing"), incidious earthmovers ("Shake"), drag-strip boogies ("King of the Road") and epic electric rave-ups ("I Feel You" and "H.E.A.V.Y.").

Produced by Jon Landry (The Stanfields, The Town Heroes) and mixed by Darren Van Niekerk (Matt Mays, Deep Dark Woods), "Hard Landings" is a perfect picture of a young rock band at its most dangerous - hungry and with nothing to lose.

The Royal Volts are a proper rock and roll band hailing from the eastern shore of Nova Scotia CA.
